Your selected image failed to load&rdquo;<\/em> error message is all about, let us move to the solutions. <\/p>\n<h2>How To Fix the &ldquo;Oops! Your Selected Image Failed to Load&rdquo; Error<\/h2>\n<p>There are various ways to fix the <em>&ldquo;Oops! Your selected image failed to load&rdquo;<\/em> error message on your Windows 10\/11 PC. However, the method that will work for you will depend on the factors causing the problem on your computer.<\/p>\n<p>Because of this, we can&rsquo;t really know for sure which of the fixes below will work best for you. You definitely won&rsquo;t have to apply every single fix we mention in this guide. However, you may need to go through several fixes one by one before you get to the right one.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a list of recommended fixes that will help you rectify this problem on your PC.<\/p>\n<h3>Solution 1: Check if your antivirus is causing an interference<\/h3>\n<p>While your antivirus is meant to secure your computer from threats, sometimes it can impede the device&rsquo;s normal functions. When this happens, it can lead to all sorts of problems. If your antivirus app interferes with the browser or system operations, it can cause the <em>&ldquo;Oops! Your selected image failed to load&rdquo;<\/em> error message to appear. <\/p>\n<p>In such cases, it is recommended that you disable some features on your antivirus that could be causing this problem. Consider disabling web protection, HTTPS\/SSL scanning, behavior monitoring, firewall or network protection, and real-time protection&mdash;and go on to check if this resolves the error. <\/p>\n<p>If the problem persists even after you have turned off the above features, then you should try disabling the antivirus program. If this fails to work, then you may have to go all the way and remove the third-party antivirus from your computer entirely. <\/p>\n<div class=\"alternative-notebox\">\r\n\t<div class=\"alternative-notebox__heading\">Note<\/div>\r\n\t<div class=\"alternative-notebox__text\">Many Windows users have reported Avast as one of the antivirus apps that can cause this problem. However, there are other antivirus programs that can bring about this issue as well. <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<p>To figure out if your antivirus is to blame, uninstall the application and check to see if the problem goes away. If the error message does not reappear, that confirms that your antivirus is the culprit. <\/p>\n<h3>Solution 2: Scan for hidden malware<\/h3>\n<p>Now that you understand the importance of choosing the right security tool for your computer, it is time to check for  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/know-windows-10-computer-infected\/\">harmful applications <\/a>. If uninstalling your antivirus did not fix the error, then you have to scan your PC for malware. These malicious files create a lot of trouble when left unchecked. One of the issues they can cause includes the <em>&ldquo;<\/em><em>Oops! Your selected image failed to load&rdquo;<\/em>&nbsp;error. So, the next obvious step is to get an application designed specifically for this purpose. <\/p>\n<p>Sometimes, even your regular antivirus tool can miss malware hidden in your system. This is because these threats are designed to be sneaky and discreet. To find and remove them, you need to install a complementary program that can work alongside your regular antivirus app. <\/p>\n<div class=\"cta-block cta-block_native top\" data-cta-type=\"native\" data-cta-position=\"top\">\r\n\t<div class=\"cta-block__top\">PRO TIP<\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"cta-block__text_native\">For example, <a href=\"\/en\/software\/anti-malware\/after-download\/\">Auslogics Anti-Malware<\/a> is a complementary tool that detects any threats that have evaded detection from your regular antivirus app.<\/p>\n<p>It adds an extra layer of protection to your system and works without conflicting with any security programs already installed on your computer. If malware is causing the &ldquo;<em>Oops! Your selected image failed to load&rdquo;<\/em>&nbsp;error on your device, Auslogics Anti-Malware will locate and remove them.<\/p>\n<p>It works by checking your system memory and analyzing suspicious entries in the registry. It also tracks startup items and cookies that may be collecting your private data without your permission.<\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"cta-block__btn-group top\">\r\n        <a class=\"cta-block__download-btn\" href=\"\/en\/software\/anti-malware\/after-download\/\">Download for Free<\/a>\r\n        <a class=\"cta-block__learn-more\" href=\"\/en\/software\/anti-malware\/\">Learn More<\/a>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\n<h3>Solution 3: Launch your Chrome browser in Incognito mode<\/h3>\n<p>According to our experience, your browser extension can cause this problem as well. To check if this is the case, you need to launch your Chrome in Incognito mode.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><b>Also read:<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/chrome-control-how-to-turn-off-incognito-mode-in-chrome\/\">Chrome Control: How to Turn Off Incognito Mode in Chrome <\/a><\/p>\n<hr>\n<div class=\"notebox\">\r\n\t<div class=\"notebox__text\">If you do not already know this, Incognito mode does not save your browsing history and caches. In addition, it does not enable any extensions that are already active on your normal browser mode. This makes it an excellent way to troubleshoot extension-related errors on your PC. <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<p>To launch your Chrome browser in Incognito mode, follow these steps: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Once you open your Chrome browser, click the menu button located in the top-right corner of the window. <\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Click on the<em> New Incognito window<\/em> option. Alternatively, press the shortcut <code>Ctrl + Shift + N<\/code> to open Incognito mode quickly. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"screenshots\">\r\n  <div class=\"screenshots__image-shadow\">\r\n    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-1092.png\" alt=\"Click on the New Incognito window option\" class=\"lazyload screenshots__image\">\r\n  <\/div>\r\n  <div class=\"screenshots__description\"><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">In the new browser window that comes up, visit Gmail to see if the error has been resolved. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"screenshots\">\r\n  <div class=\"screenshots__image-shadow\">\r\n    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-2025-03-18-at-3.12.52&#8239;PM.png\" alt=\"In the new browser window that comes up, visit Gmail to see if the error has been resolved\" class=\"lazyload screenshots__image\">\r\n  <\/div>\r\n  <div class=\"screenshots__description\"><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<p>If the issue does not reoccur, this means that one of your extensions is faulty and needs to be removed or disabled. Move to the next solution to fix it. <\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><b>Also read: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/arc-vs-chrome-is-arc-the-best-chrome-alternative-heres-a-breakdown\/\">Arc vs. Chrome: Is Arc the Best Chrome Alternative? Here&rsquo;s a Breakdown <\/a><\/p>\n<hr>\n<h3>Solution 4: Remove the faulty extensions<\/h3>\n<p>If the previous step has shown that there are, indeed, problematic extensions on your browser, it is recommended that you disable all of them. If this stops the error, the next step is to try recreating the problem by enabling each of them one after the other.<\/p>\n<p>To disable the extensions, follow these steps: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Select the menu icon located in the top-right corner of the screen and then click on <em>Extensions<\/em>. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"screenshots\">\r\n  <div class=\"screenshots__image-shadow\">\r\n    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-1093.png\" alt=\"Select Extensions\" class=\"lazyload screenshots__image\">\r\n  <\/div>\r\n  <div class=\"screenshots__description\"><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">This will bring up the list of extensions on your browser. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"screenshots\">\r\n  <div class=\"screenshots__image-shadow\">\r\n    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-2025-03-18-at-3.15.41&#8239;PM.png\" alt=\"You will see the list of all installed extensions\" class=\"lazyload screenshots__image\">\r\n  <\/div>\r\n  <div class=\"screenshots__description\"><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Go to the extension you wish to disable and toggle off the switch next to it. Repeat this for all the extensions. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Once you are done disabling the extensions, restart your Chrome browser and check if the error has been fixed. If the issue does not reoccur, it means that there is a problematic extension you need to remove. <\/p>\n<p>To figure out the specific one causing the error, enable the extensions one after the other. Once you&rsquo;ve identified the problematic extension, keep it disabled or remove it permanently. However, if this error persists even after disabling your extensions, it is evident that they are not the problem. Check the next solution. <\/p>\n<h3>Solution 5: Ensure that your browser is updated<\/h3>\n<p>Updates are regularly released to address or fix security leaks or bugs present in an application. When your app is outdated, it may misbehave and throw up errors. By default, Chrome will update itself automatically. However, there are times when you need to check for updates manually.<\/p>\n<p>To ensure your Chrome is up to date, follow these steps:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Click on the menu button located at the top right corner of the browser window and choose the <em>Help<\/em> option. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"screenshots\">\r\n  <div class=\"screenshots__image-shadow\">\r\n    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-1094.png\" alt=\"Select Help\" class=\"lazyload screenshots__image\">\r\n  <\/div>\r\n  <div class=\"screenshots__description\"><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">From here, click on <em>About Google Chrome<\/em>. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"screenshots\">\r\n  <div class=\"screenshots__image-shadow\">\r\n    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-1095.png\" alt=\"Select About Google Chrome\" class=\"lazyload screenshots__image\">\r\n  <\/div>\r\n  <div class=\"screenshots__description\"><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">On the new page that opens, Chrome will automatically search for available updates, which you can download and install. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"screenshots\">\r\n  <div class=\"screenshots__image-shadow\">\r\n    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-2025-03-18-at-3.20.00&#8239;PM.png\" alt=\"Check if your browser is up to date\" class=\"lazyload screenshots__image\">\r\n  <\/div>\r\n  <div class=\"screenshots__description\"><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<p>Once Chrome is updated, the problem should be fixed. <\/p>\n<h3>Solution 6: Clear your browser cache<\/h3>\n<p>As you surf the Internet with your browser, it stores  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/delete-temporary-internet-files\/\">a lot of temporary files <\/a> on your PC. It uses this information to load certain pages faster as well as run operations smoothly. However, these files can get corrupted and lead to the <em>&ldquo;Oops! Your selected image failed to load&rdquo;<\/em> error message popping up on your screen. To figure out if you have a corrupt file stored up in your cache, users recommend clearing it up. <\/p>\n<p>To clear up the cache, follow these steps: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Go to the top-right corner of the window and click on the menu icon. Select <em>Settings<\/em> from the options. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"screenshots\">\r\n  <div class=\"screenshots__image-shadow\">\r\n    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-1096.png\" alt=\"Select Settings\" class=\"lazyload screenshots__image\">\r\n  <\/div>\r\n  <div class=\"screenshots__description\"><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Once the <em>Settings<\/em> window opens, scroll down to locate and click on <i>Privacy and security.<\/i><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"screenshots\">\r\n  <div class=\"screenshots__image-shadow\">\r\n    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-2025-03-18-at-3.26.50&#8239;PM.png\" alt=\"Click on Privacy and Security\" class=\"lazyload screenshots__image\">\r\n  <\/div>\r\n  <div class=\"screenshots__description\"><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Next, click on the <em>Delete&nbsp;browsing data<\/em> option. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"screenshots\">\r\n  <div class=\"screenshots__image-shadow\">\r\n    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-2025-03-18-at-3.26.58&#8239;PM.png\" alt=\"Select Delete Browsing Data\" class=\"lazyload screenshots__image\">\r\n  <\/div>\r\n  <div class=\"screenshots__description\"><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>From here, go to <em>Time range<\/em> and set it to <em>All time.<\/em> Now, select the <em>Delete data<\/em> button. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"screenshots\">\r\n  <div class=\"screenshots__image-shadow\">\r\n    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-2025-03-18-at-3.29.16&#8239;PM.png\" alt=\"Set the Time Range to All Time\" class=\"lazyload screenshots__image\">\r\n  <\/div>\r\n  <div class=\"screenshots__description\"><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Wait patiently while the PC completes the cache-clearing process.
